[Repeater-Builder] Decibel folded dipole
Hi all I am looking for someone that may have modified a Decibel four bay folded dipole antenna to operate in the UHF hamband. I'm not sure if the one I have is 450-470 or the lower UHF 420 type there is no tag on this one. Thanks in advance Mike

Mike , I had a Similar Question My is made By DB But had a Mot Tag on it , I was told to just Try it and check the Swr it was about a 1.8 So the advice I got was to just use it and I did and it works Fine , it is a Very Well made ant . Answers still should be in the files Good Luck Don KA9QJG

What is the length of one of the dipole loops from top of the bottom? Measure straight across each arc from inside edge of one to the outside edge of another or, give center-to-center measurement. Also measure the length of the pigtail on that same loop to the center of the molded Y splitter. Lastly, specify which loop you measured (top, second loop down from top, etc.) Gary N6LRV -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of mike Sent: Saturday, February 07, 2009 3:00 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Decibel folded dipole Hi all I am looking for someone that may have modified a Decibel four bay folded dipole antenna to operate in the UHF hamband.

The overall length of one element for 450-470 MHz should be about 11-3/16 The overall length of one element for 406-420 MHz should be about 12-1/2 Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: mike m...@verizon.net To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 07, 2009 6:00 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Decibel folded dipole Hi all I am looking for someone that may have modified a Decibel four bay folded dipole antenna to operate in the UHF hamband.

Question is that the Length Before the Element is Bent? or is that already bent measurinf from Tip to tip? --- On Sat, 2/7/09, Chuck Kelsey wb2...@roadrunner.com wrote: From: Chuck Kelsey wb2...@roadrunner.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Decibel folded dipole To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Saturday, February 7, 2009, 6:23 PM The overall length of one element for 450-470 MHz should be about 11-3/16 The overall length of one element for 406-420 MHz should be about 12-1/2 Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: mike m...@verizon.net To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 07, 2009 6:00 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Decibel folded dipole Hi all I am looking for someone that may have modified a Decibel four bay folded dipole antenna to operate in the UHF hamband.
